Definitions

  • FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the portable terminal 100 .
  • the portable terminal 100 includes a processor 200 , a storage device 210 , a communication interface (I/F) 220 , and sensors 230 in addition to the touchscreen 110 .
  • I/F communication interface
  • the command selecting unit 330 may detect a state where the finger 140 is placed in an area neighboring the command selecting area 130 without making contact with the touchscreen 110 (what is called a “hover operation”) and may determine a command on the basis of a position of the command selecting area 130 designated in this manner.
